Arthur made such a scary request right after he came up. It stands to reason that anyone would be stunned.
However, the big businessman Jacques Cole was a man who had seen huge storms. His face did not change at all. He still replied calmly and with a smile: "Hahahaha, did you make such an excessive request right from the start?"
, Mr. Aslan."
The middle-aged man who had squinted his eyes suddenly opened his eyes and saw Sir Edward, Lord of Dover, a close friend of His Majesty King Henry VI?"
Arthur frowned: "It seems that Mr. Cole is quite well informed."
"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's that Mr. Aslan's reputation is too great." Cole said with a smile: "It's windy here, come inside. It's better to talk in detail in my private room than outside through the wall."
It's good."
This guy is indeed cautious. Even if the entire mansion is his property, even if his guards are guarding ten yards outside the door, and even if the conversation between him and Arthur has been kept to a minimum, he still feels unsafe.
"That's fine." The King of Knights replied, and followed everyone into the house.
"Zoffrey, go take a shower. Even deodorant can't cover up the smell on your body." Cole said with a hint of disgust.
"Yes, really?" Elaine blushed. He had obviously changed his clothes and used medicinal powder to remove the smell on his body.
"We'll see you later," Arthur also said.
Businessman Cole obviously did not want to leak the contents of his conversation with Arthur to a third party, even his adopted son "Joffrey". He was probably afraid that Elaine was too stupid and would talk nonsense outside and leak the news.
In Cole's extremely luxuriously decorated bedroom, he poured a glass of fine wine and handed it to Arthur, and said in a businessman's tone: "Well, Mr. Aslan, before we talk about business, let's talk about this deal first."
How is the remuneration?"
"In my territory, Dover, the trading privileges of all goods belong to you." When Arthur came up, he dropped a piece of plump meat that the other party would never let go: "Dover is rich in sea salt, and its quality is among the best in Europe."
Finally, you should know very well how much commercial benefits this batch of sea salt will bring to you throughout Europe."
"Indeed. But Dover"
"It is still under the jurisdiction of the Admiral of Great Yarmouth, yes." King Arthur said again, "but it will not be long before it becomes my possession. I am already engaged to the daughter of the Admiral of Great Yarmouth."
"Yes, yes." Cole nodded repeatedly: "The conditions you have offered are impeccable, and I am convinced that you have the ability to offer these conditions. The chips for this transaction are determined. However,"
He took a sip of red wine and looked at his sharp eyes again. Why did he want to see His Majesty Charles VII? Could it be that he wanted to assassinate him? "
After all, the war between Britain and France has just ended, so French guys like Cole will definitely be wary of British guys like Arthur.
"Huh." Arthur sneered: "Your Excellency's expression is quite interesting. So do you want me to assassinate His Majesty Charles VII, or do you not want me to assassinate His Majesty Charles VII? Which one can bring you greater benefits?"
"
"His Majesty Charles VII is alive, which can bring me greater benefits." Cole replied honestly: "It is difficult to find a person with more power to control than him. If His Majesty dies, France will once again
When we enter a period of turmoil, it will always be businessmen like us who suffer. Even you, England, will suffer huge losses from this, right?"
"Of course." Arthur blinked and saw the other party drinking the wine. He also took a bold sip, "Then I promise you. His Majesty Charles VII will not be harmed in any way, not even a hair on his head." Damaged. I just want to meet him once."
"for what?"
"Joan of Arc." The King of Knights replied briefly: "She is still in the hands of you French people, isn't she?"
"Hmm, I don't know." Even though Arthur was so probing, the other party showed confusion: "Only the king and a few people around him know the whereabouts of the saint. This matter is a major secret in the whole of France."
really.
"Joan of Arc is kind to me, and I even want to help unconditionally if I can. However, I am just a businessman without power and cannot be an enemy of the king's power." Cole added: "I can use some Extreme measures allow you to meet the king. But what are your plans next? The king's mouth is much stricter than you think."
"I have my own way, don't worry." Arthur said.
"Okay then." The other party seemed to have made up his mind, and drank all the red wine in the glass in one breath: "I have another question. How did you get to know Joffrey? That child is obviously very afraid of strangers, but he seems to be Like an acquaintance you have known for a long time."
"They are indeed acquaintances." Arthur couldn't help but smile: "You may not believe it, but we have known each other since he was a child."
The big businessman Jacques tried to find the slightest trace of lying on Arthur's expression, but he couldn't find it anyway.
Three days later in the evening, France, Paris, in front of the main entrance of the Royal Palace.
Dr. Geoffrey (Elaine) walked out of the carriage, wearing white clothes, holding the doctor's bronze snake staff, and carrying a small box on his back.
The assistant behind him was wearing black clothes, tightly wrapped up, and carrying another large box. The reason why the assistant was so tightly dressed was naturally because he wanted to avoid contact with the patient. The Black Death was a terrible infection. Disease, Elaine is probably the only one in the world who dares to come into contact with patients without wearing protective clothing.
"We are here to treat the queen." Elaine walked up to the guards and said.
"Ah, Dr. Geoffrey." The guards briefly checked the items in the two boxes, and then searched the two people's bodies to confirm that they were not carrying weapons: "Very good, you can go in."
It went very smoothly. Arthur, who was pretending to be Elaine's assistant, even thought that everything went too smoothly, too smooth to be true. However, the guards seemed to know Elaine, and he had already come to see the queen many times. It is naturally not strange for soldiers to see Ryan entering the palace for medical treatment without wearing protective clothing. But do Elaine's assistants always enter the palace with their faces covered like this, but are never interrogated?
Fortunately, Arthur had specially prepared an illusion. He wanted the soldiers to think that Arthur's face was an ordinary passerby's face when they saw it. But the soldiers didn't look at it at all, and the illusion was wasted.
Elaine looked a little uncomfortable. The discomfort was not because he was afraid or nervous, but he looked weird anyway.
"Are you okay, doctor?" Arthur asked.
"No, it's okay." Elaine groaned, "It's okay. All of this is for the queen."
The queen he was talking about naturally did not refer to the Queen of France, but to Queen Greenville. Elaine seemed to be very determined to help bring Queen Greenville back to the original world nine hundred years ago, although Arthur did not Understand the reason behind Elaine's inexplicable "determination".
The two of them walked through the side courtyard of the palace without any obstruction, and there were already three maids wearing protective clothing waiting in the front courtyard.
"How is the queen doing?" Elaine asked as soon as she approached.
"The queen's condition is gradually stabilizing and she no longer coughs up blood." One of the maids replied.
"Very good. If nothing unexpected happens, this is the last course of treatment." Elaine said while walking into the house deep in the courtyard.
Arthur also followed in. Before entering, he turned around to confirm the movements of the group of maids, but they had no intention of following him.
Deep in the house, Queen Marie I of Anjou, Queen of France, lay quietly on her bed, sleeping soundly.
Elaine made a lot of noise when she entered the house, but did not alarm the queen at all. The queen was indeed beautiful, but unfortunately she was pale and extremely thin when she was ill, and her original beauty was greatly reduced.
"Are you having a fever?" Arthur hummed when he saw the wet towel on the queen's forehead.
"It proves that the vaccine is working, and the antibodies and germs in her body are fighting fiercely." Elaine rarely said some words that fit her status as a doctor. She heard this fat white man who was usually stupid and naive actually say it seriously.
Arthur almost couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"This, this is the last vaccine." Elaine took out a tube of dark red liquid from the suitcase. The liquid was naturally his blood mixed with the queen's blood, and then inactivated by high temperature. This is the treatment
The universal vaccine for the Black Death is a life-saving medicine that many princes and nobles have dreamed of. However, because of its special nature, it is destined to always be in short supply, and only people in the upper class can afford it.
Arthur is not incomprehensible to Elaine's thoughts when studying the remains of the Black Death. If there is a way to mass-produce a vaccine, then the threat of the Black Death will completely disappear from the world. At that time, not only the princes and nobles, but also the lowest level of society
Poor people can also be saved, and the result is naturally the best. But the real cure for the Black Death is not something that can be easily found. Arthur feels that Elaine has just been doing useless work all these years.
Anyway, Elaine took out a syringe and started injecting the vaccine.
Such a delicately made glass syringe should not be a product of this era. Although glass craftsmanship has been around in the twelfth century, the precision of glass craftsmanship is far from enough to manufacture syringes of this level. This is obviously given by Merlin.
There is no way of knowing what means were used to make the things Elaine made.
The fat man carefully injected the vaccine into the blood vessel of the queen's arm. After the injection, he specially used highly distilled alcohol to disinfect the queen's wound. The doctor actually did a decent job.
"Huh." After finishing, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This, that's enough. As long as you continue to take it and take the herbs to enhance your immunity, the queen will be cured within a month."
"It seems that a total of two vaccines were used?" Arthur knew that Elaine was here to receive additional vaccines this time to enhance the effect of the vaccine. So Elaine must have vaccinated the queen with another vaccine before.
"Three branches." Elaine said: "The queen's illness was the most serious at first, and they refused to let doctors enter the palace for treatment. It took a long time. When they were summoned to the palace half a year ago, the king and queen almost insisted.
I can’t stand it any longer."
"Then you should be lucky to have saved the queen in time. Otherwise, your head would have been moved half a year ago." Arthur said.
"No, it won't happen. It's not that barbaric era." Elaine groaned.
"Ha." Arthur smiled softly. The timing of the Queen's infection with the epidemic was really clever. Could there be some people with ulterior motives who deliberately infected the Queen with the Black Death half a year ago?
Fatty Bai left a few bottles of prepared herbs aside, and then winked at Arthur. The two of them left the table at the same time, turned around and walked out of the room.
"Please ask the doctor and assistant to go to the side courtyard to bathe and change clothes." said the tightly wrapped maids.
"Okay." Elaine said, and at the same time ordered: "The queen's illness has almost recovered, and she will not be contagious in a month. So, just in case, we can observe her for another three months and let the slave
Serve her. If the slave is not infected, the queen should be completely recovered."
"Understood, doctor." The maids replied and watched Elaine leave.
